(a) After approval of the final plat by the Planning Commission, the secretary of said Commission shall certify such final approval to Council and Council shall then give its approval or disapproval of such plat. Upon approval of Council, said subdivider shall proceed to complete all work on said plat.
(b) The final plat as approved by the Planning Commission and Council shall be filed in the office of the Recorder of Williams County, Ohio, within three months. If said plat is not recorded within three months, the approval of the Planning Commission and Council shall be null and void. A plat of any subdivision submitted to the Planning Commission for approval must be approved or disapproved within thirty days after submission. If the plat is neither approved or disapproved within such period of time, it is considered approved and in such cases the Planning Commission shall, upon written demand, indicate on such plat in writing the fact of its failure to take action thereon within the prescribed time. In the event of refusal to approve a plat, the Planning Commission or other proper body must enter upon its record the reason for such refusal. (Ord. 288. Passed 4-12-76.)
